Yes, I have given up on the podcasts for runs too.i need more pace and energy in my music. I did, however, have a sneaky look at how to register as a Geaduate (pride goes.......) and it seemed to suggest that you have to have done all the podcasts. Now, I am sure that really can't be true, but to be on the safe side I listened to week eight while walking the dog yesterday. Definitely not missing anything. I do LOVE you still, Laura!

I too find my own music adds a whole different experience. One piece of advice I would offer though is think carefully about your music. I find long pieces (classical) works much better otherwise I find the run is broken up into 3/4 minute chunks, each at a difference cadence etc.

Hi Finchy thanks for the heads up on Julie - very intriguing... You really sound ike you've got this sussed - well done! I'm sticking with Laura for now as computer troubles have wiped out our iTunes library and I have to wait till the teenagers are done with exams before they can help their Luddite mum get some tunes!! ☺️☺️
